Anime fans have been polled as to which anime they think have the most spectacular and well produced battle scenes – providing plenty to please fans of giant robots and SF, and for once even including “that” anime…

Can’t help it that Naruto’s fight with “Pain” and Sasuke’s fight with Itachi came to mind right away.
Not ashamed of it. Though the anime changed a bit during them they were choreographed quite well.
Ichigo’s first fight with Kenpachi was pretty decent also let alone his last fight with Ulquiorra.
It’s not necessarily the actual fight scene that gives weight and emotion to the actual scene but the context.
And Naruto and Bleach framed their fight scenes in, in my humble opinion, an unparalleled way. I loved them.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad anime but…on this list?!? Especially since it’s missing series like Black Lagoon and Trigun (and Strike Witches)!!! …I would even go as far as to say that even Bleach(in the beginning especially), Naruto and Fairy Tail have had better fights.

Cowboy Bebop deserves the top slot especially
for the shootout in the church between Spike and
Vicious.Also the gun battle at the end.

But what about Black Lagoon and the shootouts
in the bar between Revy and company and Roberta.
Balalaika, the nuns of the Ripoff Church,
The bowling alley at the end.
Actually the whole series is a running gun battle!

Fast repetitive beating on ground!
*constipation!*(power level up!)
bad one liner!
fast repetitive beating in air!
shoot (useless) balls of light!
*more constipation! …this time from uranium apparently*(beacuse they glow!)
even worse one liner!
more repetitive beating on ground/air
some supe-hyper-duper-ultra-sure-kill-move!(that usually fails to kill after the first time)
victory!/lose!
one more bad one liner!

At last, a good list with classics in it. Well, when ppl talk about good fight in anime some moe crap not getting in it and this is a reason this list is good. And yes it could be better but there is just not enought space for all good anime so just pretend this is best they could to do.

The fight scenes in Girls und Panzer reminded me of the car races in Initial D, sometimes all you have to do is pan to the spectators awe like expressions as their heads swivel following the cars, but when they pulled that stunt where they buried the Stug in the snow to get a hit on the other sides flag tank, I had a flashback to when Tak used the gutters like rails to pass the GTR.

Yes. But that actually is a bad thing if you think deeply about it. It means Japan WAS aware of its existence, thus, making its absence from other lists even worse than it was when they were published. So… good for it being on the list, but now japanese otakus left themselves even more in shame than before.

most likely Cowboy Bebop, since that’s the anime that several people on this site bitch about any time it’s excluded from a list (plus, the image used should be a dead giveaway).

Mind you, I thought it was a good series myself, but I do think it’s over-hyped by the western crowd a tad much. Everyone needs to keep in mind that it’s not near as popular in its homeland, and it’s popular over here (to the point of becoming one of the only anime that’s even remotely mainstream) mostly because it’s been re-run to death on Adult Swim.
